"IT is pro British, it is anti-British,

LIBERALS WON.
In the bye -elections in the • best on
Tuesday the Liberals were victorious
in both canstitueneita . Winnipeg
gave the Liberal candidate a major-
ity of nearly 1200. Macdonald
elected Dr. Rutherford by 500 ma-
jority and in West Prince, Prince'

Mr. Perry will be e:ccted by a close'
majority.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Five years ago when the Conserv-1
atives v,.ted for giving Britain a pre -
Terence in our markets, "if and
when" Britain did something in re-
turn, Mr. Davies moved an =mend-
ment in favor of an immediate rearm
tion on British goods. In the very
first Liberal tariff Mr. Davies' policy
is carried oat . Parliament might
Lave passed "if and when" resolution
for a Hundred years, without produc-
ing any effect in Great Britain. but
the effect of the praetical measure of
preference is immediate. No tariff
since the N. P. has produced such
an impression in Great Briain. No
previous tariff has drawn attention to
Canada hi so favorable a way.

THE WAR.
The European war has been push-
ed with vigor during the past week.
though it is difficult to get at the
real state of affairs owing to the
conflicting reports. It is becoming
clear that the Greeks are not enough
for the Turks, assisted as they arc
German officers, and supported
by German and Russian sympathy.
The Greeks have fought nobly, but
neither patriotism nor enthusiasm
is sufficient to contend against
overwhelming odds, both in num-
bers and equipment. To add to the
perplexity of the Greek Government
and the almost certainty of their
ultimate defeat, a popular revulsion
of feeling towards the government
and especially against the king has
taken place at Athens, and it is re-
ported that the king's life is in danger
The revolutionists are led by M.
Ralli an ex -minister who addressed a
crowd at Athens, declaring that the
reverses to the, army bad all been
caused by the mismanagement,
cowardice and incompetency of the
King's Ministers, The report was
circulated that the Greek Cabinet
had resigned, but this has gained
little credence, although M. Dely-
annis, keenly alive to the need of
action, had an audience with the
King and after the interview, an -
tomcod that the staff of the Crown
Prince would be recalled from the
front and ex --minister Ralli with
three of his nominees as generals
would be appointed to replace them.
Unless a feeling of confidence is
restored at once, the Greeks are
beaten already, though that by no •
means is the end of the trouble. ,

During the week that has passed
nothin,o, has been done in the Corn -
mons except to discuss the new tariff
and it has been the favorite topic for
argument and discussion throughout
the whole country. It is difficult to
estimate by a mere superficial ex- •
amination of the long list of articles
contained in the schedule just to
what extent the effect of the changes!
will be felt. The framers of the
tariff do not claim that it is an ideal
tariff; one such es they could wisl: to'
be able to present. but they claim
that under existing circumstances, '
conditions that have been br ought
about by eighteen years of protection,
with the necessity of raising nearly
40 millions of money to meet the !
obligations of the country, that it has
been framed having fully in mind
the two fold object of bringing about
a reduction of the tariff and at the ,
same time not to violentiy disturb
existing interests. They slid not
expect that every one would be
be pleased with it. It would not be
reasonable to expect that in the con-
sideration of live hundred or more
items, their opinions would coincide
precisely with those even of persons
disposed to view the tariff question
from the same standpoint as they.
In 1893 Hon. Mr. Foster after more
thou a year's deliberation, brought
down a tariff In which over eighty al-
terations were made and the ministers
of the present Government have plac-
ed themselves on record as being will-
ing to make any change deemed
desirable after it has been clearly
shown that the proposed duty is'
unfair and unjust.
The old tariff was complicated by
reason of a, specific and ad valorem
duty on a great many articles. In
this way the actual duty and actual
amount of protection afforded by
reason of the duty was in a measure
obscured. This bas to a vet y great
extent been abolisned,the ad valorem
duty being used almost entirely.
Another feature worthy of notice
is the fact that by the resolutions
accompanying this tariff Canada has
offered preferential trade to all
countries willing to give to her, ftlir
and reciprocal privileges. As Brittain
is the only country willing at the
present time to do so, this will
simply mean preferential trade to
great Britain, a step that will
materially strengthen those ties ex-
isting between Canada and the
mother land. With cotuitries not
willing to accept this offer an almost,
uniform rate of 85 duty has been
established. Industries pampe:cd
and fed by a higher wall of protec-
tion will of course be affected by the
reduction but any industry not eap-
able of competing against outside in-
dustries »ith it 35'X, advantage, had
better get ou; of the field altogether.
The new arrangement does not suit
those, who at, one sweep would de
stroy every vistage of protection lint
as was said by the Minister of Trade
and Commerce "The ship has been
turned about in a right direction and
is now sailing; for the open sea."
